Today (30th April): The Supreme Court rejected Debasish Dhar’s plea on his nomination cancellation from Birbhum, stating that intervening would disrupt the ongoing election process. The court dismissed allegations of prejudice against the returning officer, affirming that he acted in good faith. Dhar’s resignation as an IPS officer did not imply the absence of pending dues. Consequently, the case was dismissed as withdrawn.
